This morning, I volunteered in art class at Macy’s school….one of my volunteer duties once or twice a month. Can I just say that I LOVE IT! And, if possible…Macy loves it even more than I do! :) She beams every time I’m up there, and asks me almost every Sunday night if I am coming to art the next day. I love this experience for several reasons. I love to be up there and watch my kid in her element. I love that Macy Gwynne loves having me there. I love that for just an hour a couple times a month, I can be a teacher again.
Today’s lesson was about Jackson Pollack. The class started a two-part project, and I will actually be volunteering again the week after spring break when they finish the second part. Today, they chose and object or animal, drew it, cut it out, and wrote a little poem about it. Next time…they get to splatter paint it – just like Jackson Pollack. I’ll be sure to snap a pic of the finished product!
Carly Anne usually stays with Mimi or Aunt Rebecca. This morning it was my mom, and she looks just as forward to the alone time with Mimi as much as Macy and I do for our little QT. Carly and my mom had a blast. It’s nice because my mom gets to see Carly in her element without her older sister around.
So, in summary...art duty = lots of happy campers!
